Wire and cable organizing sleeve

Abstract

A flexible organizing sleeve device for ordering a plurality of elongated members such as wire and/or cables. The sleeve comprises at least two sheets of flexible material having substantially the same dimensions of width, length and thickness. The interior facing surface of each sheet has attached thereto a plurality of resealable parallel mating strips running substantially along the length of the sleeve. To install the device, a user mates the first pair of parallel mating strips and places a wire, for example, next to the mated strips between the sheets. A user then mates the next consecutive pair of parallel mating strips. The wire is now contained within a compartment-like structure. The user simply repeats the mating process of forming separate and individual compartments for each wire until the entire organizing sleeve is filled and the plurality of wires are ordered.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A wire and cable organizing sleeve for individually ordering a plurality of specified wires or cables of differing gauges and lengths comprising: at least a pair of flexible plastic sheets having interior facing surfaces and exterior facing surfaces for forming said sleeve;   a plurality of a first type of elongated base strips distributed along the length of and affixed to an interior facing surface of a first sheet of each pair of said plastic sheets with said first type of elongated strips having a plurality of deformable hooks bonded to and randomly distributed over the length of and extending outwardly from said first type of elongated strips;   a plurality of a second type of elongated base strips distributed along the length of and affixed to an interior facing surface of a second sheet of each pair of said plastic sheets with said second type of elongated strips having a resilient pile of looped filaments bonded to said second type of elongated strips and extending outwardly therefrom over substantially the entire length thereof, said hooks of said first type of elongated strips being adapted to releasable engage said looped filaments of said second type of elongated strips; and   at least two or more spatially separated adjacent ones of said first type of elongated strips having a one to one correspondence in a facing relationship to a like number of spatially separated adjacent ones of said second type of elongated strips for cooperatively joining said first and second interior facing surfaces of at least a pair of said plastic sheets;   wherein when said first and second type of elongated strips interposed between said first and second interior facing surfaces of said sheets are joined, the relative movement between said joined plastic sheets is inhibited;   wherein said first and second type of elongated strips are secured to all of said first and second interior facing surfaces of said plastic sheets by an adhesive substance;   wherein said plurality of wires or cables are secured between two spatially separated adjacent pairs of said first type of elongated strips having said correspondence to said second type of elongated strips such that there exists at least an equivalent number of spatial separations to an equivalent number of specified wires or cables.   
     
     
       2. A flexible wire and cable organizing sleeve for ordering a plurality of wires or cables comprising: a cooperating pair of flexible plastic sheets presenting opposite long and short dimensional sides arranged in a superposed relation for forming said sleeve by cooperatively joining said pair of flexible plastic sheets;   at least two or more spaced apart parallel elongated base strips of a first type securely engaged to a first one of said pair of plastic sheets having a plurality of deformable hooks bonded to and randomly distributed over the length of and extending outwardly from said first type of elongated base strips;   at least two or more spaced apart parallel elongated base strips of a second type securely engaged to a second one of said pair of plastic sheets having a resilient pile of looped filaments bonded to said second type of elongated base strips and extending outwardly therefrom over substantially the entire length thereof, said hooks of said first type of elongated base strips being adapted to releasable engage said looped filaments of said second type of elongated base strips;   at least two or more spaced apart parallel adjacent ones of said first type of elongated base strips having a facing relationship to a like number of spaced apart parallel adjacent ones of said second type of elongated base strips for cooperatively joining said pair of plastic sheets; and   wherein when said first and second types of elongated base strips being interposed between a first one and a second one of said pair of plastic sheets are joined, the relative movement between said pair of joined plastic sheets is inhibited;   wherein said first and second types of elongated base strips are secured to said first and second ones of said pair of plastic sheets by an adhesive substance;   a plurality of compartments formed between joined adjacent pairs of said first and second types of elongated base strips having said facing relation to each other for securing each one of said wires or cables where each compartment maintains a short direction spacing slightly larger than an associated wire or cable;   wherein each of said compartments allows said associated wire or cable to be displaced about each of said compartments to prevent rupturing the joined adjacent pairs of said first and second types of elongated base strips when an external force or pressure stresses in-part or in-whole said sleeve.
